As some of you know, I'm switching my exhaust to Bassani. I have the mufflers (ss street), but the Bassani catted X has not been shipped yet. I decided to go ahead an install the mufflers with my prochamber to let them start breaking in.

Here's a video I made and finally got uploaded. It was raining, so I set the camera on the front porch and drove by several times.
I'm not looking for any praise or comments, although they are welcome. I'm just sharing the exhaust vid because, as far as I know, this is the only S197 with a prochamber and the Bassani mufflers. The combo sounded great on the New Edge stangs. It sounds good on the S197, but not as distinct.

Sorry for the bad sound during the revs at the end. My new camera just can't handle loud noises as well as my previous camera. Notice how deep the exhaust sounds. That's the prochamber working.

UPDATE: Here's another vid I made today (9-20-08). It sounds good, but I think it would sound even better with no cats or with the cattex X from Bassani.

AND...here is another. I wasn't going to upload this one at first because the farm bus pulled out behind me and distracted me so I missed 2nd gear, but the exhaust has that nice flutter when shifting.

you had the high flow cats to right i like it i think it sounded really good

thewarmachine

Yes, the high-flow Pypes cats are attached to the prochamber. I like the sound too.

deekum1627

yea it really sounds good so what you goin to do now lol and if i was to buy the whole prochamber set up how much would you want for it

I'm going to install the Bassani catted X-pipe whenever it arrives and sell the catted prochamber and my stingers. I'd like to get about $450 shipped for the catted prochamber, which was $583 brand new ($408 + $175). I figure it will take $40 to $50 to ship it. I haven;t decided on a price for my stingers yet. I'm a little sad to get rid of them because they were my first mod and they served me well.

It sounds pretty good. When it is under load it sounds even better. Maybe it is the camera but at idle the exhaust sound is high.

The Bassani street mufflers do have a unique higher pitched sound.

Sounds good, war. The prochamber gives it a nice deep hollow sound. Do you notice a deeper/hollower tone now over your old setup?

I'm still dying to hear the prochamber with my Pypes M-80s. I'll probably purchase one sometime this fall. I'll have to reinstall the JBA catted pipe for inspection in December. The prochamber will be going back on.

Just watched it again. Sounds real nice. Is there a reason why you didn't go with Bassani Race? I was SERIOUSLY considering those prior to the Pypes MM purchase. The street's are loud enough but the Race seemed a bit more gruff...

And you have short headers, right?

I'm going to get some more vids of my setup this weekend...

thewarmachine

I didn't want another straight through muffler like my stingers, and besides, I really like the Bassani street sound.

I don't really notice a lot of hollowness from the prochamber....no more than any other high-flow catted midpipe or offroad pipe. It does make the sound considerably deeper.

No, I don't have shorty headers......yet. I want them, but I've got to cut back on wasting my money on this car.
